Since I posted in this thread last (wow that's an old layout), I mostly switched from listening to music via headphones to just using the speakers on my laptops... (not the highest quality of things, I suppose)
I still use Winamp 2, even though I now use OS X... ____________________ |

Paulguy's Post configuration
Nobody needs a (truly) 500W amplifier unless they're doing club sound. However a lot of consumer amplifiers rated for 500W really don't reach that point without a lot of distortion, if they can even put out that much, at all. If you're "serious" about it, better go for something rated between 50-100 and spend a bit on a good one. It'll be loud and won't distort, so it'll remain clear. Probably even louder while still remaining clearer than that "500W" unit you get from best buy or whatever. (A real 500W amp that doesn't distort within it's rated power will probably cost in the area of $5000-10000+, maybe ~$2000 for something low end but still decent.).
Also if those are those Dr. Dre headphones, from a lot of people's opinions (I've not used them personally), they're not bad headphones but cost way too much for what you get. Probably better to look for some ~$100 ones if you want decent listening quality, and aren't too picky. Hell, probably could get away with something in the $30-50 range that still sounds pretty good (though this range tends to be kind of bass-heavy, and you won't get great treble.). As for me, I mostly just listen to video game music (In original format if I can find it.) and decent quality MP3s on the computer, but if something better isn't available, I'll deal with the lower quality version. I don't go out much but if I did I'd probably just use my phone (Droid 2). I don't listen to music particularly loudly, unless it's cool, but even then I don't listen to it too loudly where it hurts (why do people like listening to music to hurt?). EDIT: Using "music/media-specific" equalization options is a bad idea. Equalization should generally be used to adjust a sound system to compensate for uneven response, and if you like a specific attribute, you can tweak it a bit but being overly aggressive or using presets does more damage than good. ____________________ |

| Usually on my laptop with Audio-Technica headphones. I use Winamp for everything, i play a lot of different video game music formats or just mp3s. When exploring new music, i look up things on YouTube or on Spotify. |

| WinAMP, usually. If I like a song, I'll grab it off of YouTube with a video-to-MP3 converter. If I'm doing something outside around the house, I'll take a wireless karaoke microphone, put it up to my PC's speaker, and then use a portable radio scanner to tune in to the microphone's frequency. If I'm away from the house, I just use my PSP as a MP3 player. It's kind of unwieldy, and I don't do it a lot. |

| I usually download all my music for free onto my Mp3 player. Sometimes i connect the Mp3 player to the Xbox 360 so i can have it louder. I use Finetune wii when looking for new music as its good if you know how it works. ____________________ I am a Glitch-Master and have found glitches in almost every game i've played, useful or not.

I've tried a number of programs. Sadly I keep finding iTunes is the only one that can manage a ton of songs and not die on me.. So I use iTunes for my library stuff. On my mobile though I use WinAMP.
I need new speakers, my old XA2031s are never getting repaired now, and these little USB laptop speakers suck. I use my sennheiser hd205s when I want to create that "audio seal" between the world and myself.. I wish I could say I waltz into a room full of speakers and sit in the middle. That'd be awesome. ____________________ |

Aux says:I recently discovered I own over 150 physical CDs. I HAVE A PROBLEM.I also have 12,011 songs overall on my iTunes. 0_0 Anyway. I have a different iPod now (Philip J. fryPod, iPod Classic, 160 gigs), and a pair of kickass headphones (UrbanEars, if you're wondering). I keep a pair of cheapo earbuds on hand in case I'm in a situation where headphones won't suit. ____________________ ![]() |

| I buy used CDs at the places where I get stuff to resell. I've amassed a ridiculously large collection over the years. I'm still not even halfway through my collection... I don't really pirate "modern" music these days. Most of the stuff I download is either vinyl-only or out of print for years. I did get into the habit of buying digital albums off of bandcamp, though. Oh yeah. I always rip stuff to FLAC. Not just because of the whole "audiophile nerd" thing, but because many of my CDs are super old and they're degrading to the point where they can't be ripped or listened to without skipping. ____________________ ![]() |
